Notes for MARTIN JAMES (POLK) GOLDMAN:

l Grandpa "Polk" ( Martin James Goldman) was a small framed man that walked almost everywhere he went. He passed away after a walk from Lincoln, Arkansas to Evansville in bad weather. He was on his way to see his son Lum (Martin Columbus Goldman) when he fell into a creek, became ill with pneumonia, and essentially from the exposure. Sometimes he rode with the mail carrier to his destination. It is said among those who knew him that he wrote and spoke fluent German as well a English. He read from his German Bible everyday.

Notes for SARAH ANN MORRIS:

l Sarah Morris was considered to be a hard women. She traveled from Indiana to Arkansas pregnant with her husband and 4 boys. According to Ethel Goldman's diary she lost the baby girl along the way . The four boys walked the whole way from Indiana. The oldest son William Moses herded cattle on the trip. Polk made the boys hats out of wheat straw to wear on their journey.

l Sarah once chased off a suitor of her youngest child Dolly with a frying pan. She was known for whipping her grandchildren Linnie and Chad if they didn't play favor to her youngest child Dolly. All these children were about the same age.

l Sarah was a tall, stout, Irish woman. In her picture's she appears to be trying to shorten herself to appear less tall beside her short husband Martin James "Polk". She obviously liked hat's and had her picture made often with she and the girl's (Dolly and Bertha) wearing them.

Children of MARTIN GOLDMAN and SARAH MORRIS are:
